   WORKSFORME.  I just tried it with no ssh options, and it works
fine.  I already have "ForwardX11 yes" in my ~/.ssh/config, though.

   Upgrade.  Seriously.  FC2 was a steaming heap of...  Well, you get
the point.  More importantly, RH just stopped releasing updates for
FC2.  FC4 is due out in about five weeks.
   And to actually answer your question, the -X option was split into
- -X and -Y around 3.8 or so.  As I mentioned above, it's not actually
necessary, though.

$ ssh remote.host 'x2x -east -to :0'

   This also works for me.  Are you sure the remote hosts have X11
forwarding enabled?  I think the default for OpenSSH is to have
"X11Forwarding no" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

   Oh, and to respond to your earlier comment about my work load
(sendmail smarthost thread):  I must have something REALLY important
that I'm avoiding if I'm troubleshooting YOUR minor inconvenience. ;)
